To degrade a woman like that is unacceptable. That kind of treatment reminds me of what this woman goes through. Treat the woman for the work she does not how she looks. If I remember correctly, Maddelisk has been in the scene for a very long time, so she deserve some respect. | ||

Well in terms of results obviously, but since it's about the exposure and maddelisk has done a pretty good job putting herself out there with the showmatches and casting and all that junk. | ||

Well, we don`t see Grubby wearing skin tight trousers and an extra shot of his legs when promoting benq, do we? And I am not sure that you remember correctly, she is a math student no? She tried some tourneys and did not spectacular and they are easily a 100 people who did more for the community or are better players, or play for longer, but they are male. But when total Buiscuit makes a team to promote them people call them faceless koreans. It is a marketing descision for xmg. I am happy for maddelisk, good for her, but she is there because she has marketing value, and she got it because she is a mediocre female player, while even great male players don`t get personal sponsor ships, so yeah, I can see why people get frustrated when it becomes apparent that it is not a competition about skills but looks for most parts. | ||

I've no hate and this is said with no animosity but the only reason Maddelisk is getting a personal sponsoring is how she looks and that's even why she is in millenium in the first place. It's a good investment both for millenium and AMD because everybody knows her, she is cute and she does promote the brand and that's what a gamer job is. It's not so much to play the game, it's way more to promote the people paying you. And she does it well, but not by her starcraft skills alone (if not at all, she is good in female tournament I guess) obviously .... | ||

Yeah, that's a very good point. I just think it's nice that women do get more exposure in the gaming world. I remember when Aphrodite was in the GSTL invitational, some people were complaining how there were other players who deserved to be on that spot. I know your school of thought is that women should be evaluated on the same standard as men, which is valid in certain scenarios (such as becoming a firefighter). For me, I think we should add a little bit more leeway for women in a male-dominated world, which can be disagreeable to some. When the playing field is leveled, then I believe we should have men and women on the same standard. Hope you can be understanding, if not agreeable, of my views.

Sorry for sounding that harsh. It's just a very sensitive matter, and I do, sometimes, get disturbed by how women can be marginalized very easily. But what you say is agreeable, so that's the end of discussion on my part. I support women's rights, but I am not that hyper-feminist, which has been dominant lately. | ||

That actually is not my school of thought, but I found it ridiculuos that people call someone disgusting in this thread because they complement her on her legs and I just wanted to spill some seeds that might sproud common sense. My school of thought is: we are a species with 2 different genders, they posess a specialized physiology for different tasks, down to the way our brains are wired. So, great Legs Maddelisk and best of Luck in Sc2. I think the playing field is what it is, life is not fair and it is good for most of us that it isn`t. Most men surely can`t score a sponsorship because of their looks (except for snute/bisu ofcourse), but the majority of girls don`t get exposure to competitive gaming and have more social pressure to socialise. For me that is ok, I enjoy being part of this two gendered species, I sometimes don`t like that sc2 is too much about marketing, sure. I also don`t like it when people get all mad because I don`t look a girl into the personality first and when those people want to make us something we aren`t, a uni-gender species. | ||
